Question about Alienware

Ya, I understand. I'm fine with it. This thread just reminded me of it, lol. It is a nice computer, just overpriced.

It's just funny to see the younger brother's P45-T2RS w/e5200@4Ghz rock stable do everything he does just as quickly, if not faster, for under $200 (for those parts). He goes on myspace and occasionally plays wow, yet decides to pay a ton for an alienware in which he will never fully utilize.

Oh well. He will learn someday hehe.
 
My younger brother just bought a focking Alienware and I was on the verge of kicking him in his scrotum. And it wasn't because he didn't know I build rigs either, as just built two kickass rigs for the other two younger brothers.

He wanted it because its "cool". Fuck. Could have bought the damn case on ebay. Ughhh.

Oooohhh... Shiny...
 
Live and let live, man. I'm sure he appreciates your computer knowledge, and should an issue he cannot solve arise I am certain he will troubleshoot with you, but consumers want the "hot" item. Look at the obsession with I-Pod's and I-Phone's, now given I-Phone's are really cool and stylish, but the rate plans that phone offers are ridiculously off-market. People still want "brand name" though, because image is everything sometimes.

That's *why* he thinks it was a stupid decision, though. Who cares what people want? People are idiots.
